I would introduce them to scrumpy, then teach them to grow apples so we can make more.
test plant on grug before eating
You'd be a lot taller and probably also faster (maybe not stronger). You'd become a god-king in no time. Or be killed as a monster.
I'm reasonably good at surviving pregnancy and childbirth, and nursing. Think all my other skills are only useful after the agricultural revolution.
Not being on the internet
Hitting people with a cudgel
tool making most likely. also fire keeping, and cooking.
I guess I could build a cart/waggon for easier transporting the dead animals the other guys hunted. Not sure if that would be much appreciated or if I just would be the weird guy again.
Maybe a plough would be more useful.
And building/improving shelter.
I could also make a fire after failing some time I suppose.
I can imagine you making a rock hammer, and having to sit there and justify to people why the end has that weird flange. "It's for pulling things out!"

Our ancestors measured time to keep track of the breeding seasons of their prey as to not exterminate the local populations... so most likely for that

Dying from a decease.
Clan rock stacker.
Counting and therefore distributing spoils fairly. I would become a well-loved chief and would probably get laid more than I currently do, although the hairy partners may not be of my liking.
eh beauty is relative and you'd get used to it. It sounds like you'd be the village sandwich maker, and yes I can imagine that being a very prestigious position
dying
Engineering and chemistry. You know, sharpening knives/arrows and distilling seawater into salt for food preservation.
I feel like I could get flintknapping down pretty well.
Ironically, brute force. I would be great at hunting too!
Username checks out
looking like that...most likely not a Don Juan. so hunting and fishing, i could scare anything to death...

I'd be the hairless monkey that stays up all night and talks to plants

I'd be a good forager, gatherer and tracker. I have a knack for identifying plants and animals and spotting signs of their presence. I'm sure with a bit of training I could become decent at trapping too but I've never done that.
I'd also be good at art, be that cave wall painting or figurine sculpting/carving.
Digging holes with a shovel. I'm good at that.
Whittling. Drawing.
Meditation.
